Artificial Intelligence (AI) and academic essay writing merge to create a transformative intersection in education, each reciprocally refining and reforming the other. AI, through its innovative technologies and flexible learning strategies, elevates academic writing by offering dynamic, interactive learning settings, and personalized educational journeys. This study aimed to explore students' perceptions of AI usage in academic essay writing using a case study design. It involved 245 undergraduate students from 25 tertiary institutions in Eastern and Central Indonesian provinces, with data collected via Google form to gain insights into students' attitudes toward AI tools in writing academic essays.

AI was found to enhance students' writing abilities, self-efficacy, and understanding of academic integrity. However, some students expressed concerns about potential impacts on creativity, critical thinking, and ethical writing practices.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
